I'm assuming > identical drives would be preferrable. I have had good luck with my 2GB Atlas, which is more noisy than my (5400RPM) 2GB IBM DORS when idle, but less noisy under high load. The Atlas II is significantly faster, and the 2GB version is currently available for some 540DM (+VAT) over here, which makes me think you should get it for US$310. They doubled capacity per platter compared to the original Atlas by using MR heads ... Power consumption is specified as 7.6W (idle) and 10W seeking. Bonnie results are very good, you better buy an Ultra-SCSI card if you want to connect both drives to the same host- adapter :) There is also a 2GB variant of the Viking, which looks like a follow-on to the Grand-Prix (which was not such a great drive). It got slightly better sustained throughput specs, but I guess I'd rather buy the Atlas II ... Regards, STefan
